Today was our third full marathon in Manitoba, and let me tell you, they weren't kidding. This place is flat! We had a couple moguls yesterday and a hill or two the day before, but today didn't have any elevation changes. How was it you ask? It was pretty uneventful (except for the torrential downpour at about 30km, followed by small ice pellets that felt awful).

Today we also passed the longitudinal centre of Canada. How is it that we are a day and a half shy of the 2/3rd mark in our journey, but only halfway across the landmass that is Canada? Well, lets just say that we took the long way... Check out the picture of our route (located under the "route" tab) and you will see our roundabout pathway.

We are pretty excited about hitting another capital city on our journey. There are many benchmarks for us, and they each carry significance, but capitals are exciting because they offer facilities to restock supplies AND typically boast a decent population (which in turn, could represent many people to give a little to our cause)!!

Long story short, we are moving along in a Westerly direction and feeling great about our progress.

Wishing you all the best, Scott!
I had not heard of your run, but passed you on the TransCanada a week or so ago, heading home to my home in Morden. I noted your website and took time this morning to read of your inspiring vision. As a cancer survivor, I am grateful for your willingness to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. We will stay tuned with your progress and cheer you on as you continue each day's marathon!

Wishing you good health and better weather! We had our Terry Fox Run a few weeks back at ACVI and I updated the school on your progress as a follow up to Megan's chat last year. At that point you were in Thunder Bay which is kind of fitting! I hope your experience is rewarding and enriching as it will benefit the lives of many.
P.S. Enjoyed my update in the iRun magazine!

Hi Meagan and Scott. I was at Global and asked what the scoop was on your latest cross country trek and they told me you were progressing through Alberta now. Wow that is a milestone. I hope that you are going to make your schedule and get to the BC coast in December but this is a grueling time of year and must be harder to run on snow and ice. Just keep safe and warm. We think of you guys often and can't express how much we appreciate your trek across the second largest country in the world so that others might live. You guys are heroes!
